What's New for the 2005 Volvo XC90?
Flat-blade, rain-sensing windshield wipers debut on the 2005 Volvo XC90, which improved visibility in inclement weather. Volvo also has treated the side glass and side mirrors to repel water. A HomeLink universal transmitter and a tire pressure monitoring system are now standard, and two new colors are available on the 2005 Volvo XC90: Magic Blue and Titanium Gray.
Advantages of the 2005 Volvo XC90:
- Standard load of safety equipment
- Extremely comfortable front seats
- Plenty of interior room
- Commendable off-road capability
Objections to the 2005 Volvo XC90: - Standard engine overcome by vehicle's weight
- Third-row seat designed for kids only
- Noticeable turbo lag in 2.5T model
Editor's Advice:
Critics and consumers alike have praised the Volvo XC90, and the vehicle is quite popular with upper-middle class families looking for an alternative to the traditionally clunky SUV. About the size of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but decidedly more stylish and designed for travel on, rather than off, the pavement, the 2005 Volvo XC90 will nonetheless traverse medium difficulty terrain when coaxed. Opt for the more powerful engine and the XC90 runs fine; standard models may struggle when loaded with people and cargo. We recommend a look at the XC90 if this kind of vehicle suits your needs.
